Step 5 – Reflection

 

 

For the project we decided to research on organic agriculture. After spending the sessions, discussing with Eliane, we have become very aware of the numerous negative impacts we are making in our life. Through our discussions I have become more passionate on ways humans can have a better relationship with the land. Many civilizations before us knew how to live with the land without destroying it or without making as much of a footprint. I hope this publication will serve as a platform for communication across food and agricultural studies students here at while continuing to teach the community about food justice and food sustainability. We also encourage students who are studying food and agriculture.

Step 4 - Shape and Create

We have completed an interview with a farmer in Kerala. After a good study of the topic made us feel that we should promote Organic Farming.

Kerala depends on the neighbouring states for most of the resources including food items. The changing pattern of resource consumption in Kerala during the past 50 years has promoted the state as one among the top most consumer states of the nation.

We shall do our best to mould our men to lead a healthy life.

 

Step 3 - Experience: Survey and Interview

About the survey:

With our collected information about urban gardening, we created a survey. 80 percent of the respondents already knew what urban gardening is and support it. Unfortunately, only a small part of the respondents have their own garden or a small bed on the balcony. In summary, we can say that most of them are exaggerated that urban gardening has a positive impact on our climate.

The Interview:

We conducted an interview with Mr Eberle. He told us about his connection to urban gardening and how he came across it. We will publish the interview soon on the website "don't waste my energy".

REMINDER -=>Categories are the bones of The Horse

Exciting projects in the context of city climate & city trees are in development or "growing"; each project team as well as all collaboration teams get their own category. Here you collect all material, text, media, etc. for sharing with others and later for your publication on the website dontwastemy.energy.

The journey of discovery is underway!

Step 2 - Project research: Urban gardening

Urban Gardening is the horticulture in cities, which is mostly small-scale. Typical examples in the city are courtyard and roof gardens. Urban Gardening has always existed, but the importance of this horticultural use of urban areas is growing. It's about sustainability, about the vegetables on your doorstep, also about cost reduction and last but not least about the important ecological aspects.

We want to teach our class members and other interested people how exactly such a garden works. On the internet you can read a lot about urban garding. During our project work we could perhaps interview a landscape gardener and learn more about the cultivation. We want to publish this information in order to motivate as many people as possible to run such an ecological garden.
